    Yeah, I believe that is right. They were fighting for 50 yard line, but dealt for the 35. I understand taking a section away if they aren't filling them up consistently...but taking their best section isn't right either.

    A comprehensive article would include asking Josh exactly how many student tickets were used for each of the nine home games last season.

    533 In a row

    As a student, Section 16 was the only section worth being in.

    Now as an alum, if I can get into Section 16 for less than 2k/year I'm going to be excited about it.

    Has anyone computed the approximate per seat per game cost on these new seats including all fees?

    I attended NDSU from 1986 to 1991 and probably went to at least 95% of the home games along with some games when I was still in High school. I bought a pair of season tickets in 1995 when they had some that didn't require you to be a Team Maker and then we moved out of state the next year.

    Had season tickets going back to the early Bohl Years.

    Point being, I go to the games now, would add a couple of more tickets if available, but had very little interest in NDSU while in college.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    That is what he does. Click bait on a story and just take the other side of an argument just to be that guy. He is good at it also.

    I don’t like that they are doing it. But I am also a realist and see the upside. They should be able to figure out a way to cram students in their section.
    I went to very few football games when I went to college and more basketball games.
    Of course I went to Murray State so there was a very good reason.
    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans

    That probably wouldn't be a good long term strategy. These are your future donors/season ticket holders. The fewer that build a bond with football games, the fewer that want to attend later.

    Taking a section is fine. Just disagree with the section they took.
